I am one lucky Mimi!! I have had some AWESOME nail mail today...3 polishes i am going to show you right now are by the amazing sisters, Jenn, Lacey an Lexi at F4 Polish. I am proud as punch they liked my previous review (click here to view) so they very kindly sent me 3 more pretties. Brace yourself...here we go.
First up is Rockefeller. My my my, what is there to say about this?! It is a heap of beautifulness in a bottle...glitters that remind me of a snowy Christmas day! I love this polish so much purely because it is not your average white glitter that many brands churn out this time of year, it is so versatile, the layering possibilities are endless and would truly look fantastic over pretty much any colour! Rockefeller is made up in a clear base, packed in there are medium sized white and off white matte glitters, small matte square and hex glitters and a pretty scattering of holographic glitters. I chose to layer this over China Glaze Aquadelic..perfecto! This was 2 coats...application excellent..formula excellent!
Now we have Times Square Holiday. These polishes are to die for they really are, TSH is a real festive treat for your nails...i look at this polish and just imagine a beautiful huge Christmas tree decorated with pretty lights! I think this is a definite winner for the girls at F4, kudos for making such a beautiful festive polish!! TSH is a beautiful red and green glitter base with the most amazing black and white shards of glitter....i think there is some holo shards in there to!! This is one interesting polish for sure. I used 2 coats of TSH over China Glaze Westside Warrior...application again was superb!
Last but in absolutely no means least is Who-ville....what a FANTASTIC name...god i love it just for that! The Grinch is my daughters favourite Christmas film and as soon as i saw the name of this it just conjured up images of that very misunderstood Grinch...standing there looking all mean...awww i love it! The polish fits the name perfectly....! I could have only ever have layered this over a grinchy green colour...i wasn't sure it would work, and i so wanted to do the girls proud....but instincts prevailed and wow what a combo!! Who-ville is another that is made up in a clear base. I adore the neon green glitters and the red matte glitters compliment each other perfectly. I chose to layer this over Misa grass is greener, an although i think this was PERFECT over this shade, this is another one that is so versatile you can really mix it up! This was 2 coats once again, and application A*!
I want to say thanks the girls once again for giving me the opportunity to try their polishes and show them to you, i know i am a new blogger compared to some others out there, but i hope i have done them proud. Please do have a nosey at their Etsy shop here or look them up on facebook here
Crikey i am on a roll tonight....first Shimmer Polish and now the sublime F4 Polish!! I am honoured to be reviewing these for the lovely ladies over at F4, and i thank them sincerely for sending me these to review. When i opened the mail this morning and i saw these babies i knew they were going to be fun......and fun they were, from the names, which crack me up btw, to the overall finished look. I will get on to the pics....enjoy!
First up we have Mrs Duck. Ohhh the name makes me really chuckle, i just imagine Daisy Duck standing before me, looking all cute and fluffy...i know right...weird! This polish really did excite me on the nail much more than it did in the bottle (and it looks pretty special in the bottle to!) it is made up of beautifully pretty matte micro purple white and pink glitters and alongside that there are purple and yellow satin glitters thrown in and purple and yellow shards of glitter for added pizazz! I chose to layer this over Essie Splash of Grenadine which i loved but i have also seen this layered over purple and it looks amazing that way to....meaning this is a versatile polish!
Next up we have Goof-e...again....name is class and will make you smile without a doubt. I thank the girlies at F4 for sending me these great polishes which have conjured up a giant Disney fest in my head.....! oops i digress! so here is goof-e and after i have picked myself off the floor because it is so damn lovely This polish comprises of super bright green micro glitter, green and blue matte hex glitters and green holographic hex. I layered this over essie mojito madness which i think is a perfect combination. Yes its colourful and playful but i also think its super pretty....thumbs up for this one (and this was only 1 coat!!)
Lastly we have Mr Mouse. This spoke to me as soon as i saw it, its totally different to what i would usually wear, so it was a welcome change to try something out of my comfort zone. Mr Mouse is set in a clear base with ultra fine black matte glitter, white matte hex and sparkly red hex glitter. The possibilities with this polish is endless....although i am not sure i would do a whole mani done with white as a base as i thought the base concealed the larger white glitters. I have seen this done over a natural nail and it looked great....unfortunately polish has stained my nails at the minute so i wont do it over my natural nails but maybe a nice nude colour. I really thought this was a fun polish...again the name is classic...love it!
Overall the application on these babies was effortless...with the exception of Mr Mouse which i had to fish a smidgen for....i might add this is to be expected with a polish like this...it wasnt an issue and if you like this kind of look it is all part of creating the build up you want. Dry time was super fast to. Would i recommend F4...YES....not only are they so friendly there but they stock some ultra cute polishes!!! find them in their etsy shop here or on facebook here
